Of course not,must destroy my copy,and the one in the club,and the one in the club umpires kit,is the new one available yet?

No 9D indoor anymore John

As a relatively new/average club bowler, I do not want to (nor will I) play with narrow bowls, but, nor, really, do I want to play against them! I...

The penalty for what the skip is doing is disqualification, Law 9D (11) indoors. Cannot remember the CM Law number(it may be 8.3)

Am I right in saying that in Australia the T is the other way round. So the jack is placed at the top of the T, not over it. If that is correct it...

I have always felt that it is rude and against all the rules of etiquette to complain during a game when a player uses bowls considered by some to...

correct. Conditions of Play must be implemented for any control over visits to the head

So - do I read correctly (?) - your point is 'There is NO law; it's a COP' ??

I think you are missing my point , it is not covered in the Crystal Mark Law book,and it is often in conditions of play,if it is not in conditions of...

Thank you for some interest, Gentlemen. I wish I could say that after reading your responses, & listening to our club Chair, a past umpire, I was...

I can't find anything about them folding on either their website or the Bowls England website. They are still advertising coaching and safeguarding...

I played inconsistently, about 25% within mat length, the rest half short and the other half pass the jack. Thx for the reply.

I would think if they have been watching events on TV the shot clock will be in use, in which case visits to the head can take place anytime

Firstly make sure your middle finger is in contact with the middle of the running surface of the bowl,then use this finger as your weight control,...

Sounds like someone has been watching the televised games under PBA Rules, when in singles players can only visit the head after their third bowl...

You don't say if you are bowling short of the jack or bowling past the jack. If you are consistently bowling past the jack then one way to mitigate...

As the only mention of visits to the head will be in Conditions of Play, so the answer will be in there ,but my experience of conditions of play is...

For me it wouldn't make sense for the other player to return back to the mat with the bowler when the head may change after the bowler has played his...

Local rule which should be in COP. CM3 does give options under A 4.1 but these have to be implemented in the COP by the Controlling Body. Sent...
